Schiff: I have 'grave concerns' over Nunes's surveillance claim
Source: MSN/The Hill
The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Wednesday that he has "grave concerns" over Chairman Devin Nunes's (R-Calif.) handling of the Trump Tower wiretapping investigation.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) criticized Nunes for his surprise announcement earlier in the day that he had seen intelligence intercepts that showed authorities had incidentally gathered information on members of the Trump transition team during investigations that the chairman said were not related to Russia.
Nunes made the announcement at a press conference, saying the information had been "widely disseminated" in an implicit criticism of intelligence community officials.
He then briefed the White House about his findings and appeared on CNN - without talking to Schiff, who knocked the chairman for not sharing the information.

Of course, the real ICING on that cake would be him doing a little time for his giving Trump time to devise his "story" and dispatch with damning evidence. Maybe Cheney can advise how to have a fire in Trump's files!
